Deramaxx (Deracoxib) Chewable Tablets

Deramaxx (deracoxib) is a non-narcotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the coxib class specifically developed for dogs. It works by targeting the COX-2 enzyme to inhibit the production of prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation, while having less impact on the COX-1 enzymes that support kidney and stomach health. These beef-flavoured, scored tablets are used to manage the chronic pain and lameness associated with canine osteoarthritis and to provide relief from acute pain and inflammation following orthopedic or dental surgeries.

Prescription Required
